Sharing a video to social media, James revealed his father, Stephen Moore, had passed away in June of this year.
Alongside a selection of images, James confirmed his father’s cause of death as the blood cancer, Multiple Myeloma.
Stephen was aged 69 at the time of his death with James now appealing to his followers to help donate to charities who help with the diagnosis and treatment of the progressive type of blood cancer.
Making a plea to his fans, James wrote online: “Thank you for listening.
“If you would like to donate to help me raise money in memory of my dad, please follow the link below.”
As well as sharing a donation link, James, who is an avid boulder climber, confirmed his plans to raise funds for a sponsored climb in Cheltenham.
The soap star will be joined by his friends and family for the challenge.
James, 33, has appeared on Emmerdale as the long-lost son of Charity Dingle since 2018.
Last year, the star tied the knot with his long-term partner in a gorgeous lakeside ceremony.
James, who has cerebral palsy, and wife Sophie Edwards splashed out on a quirky ceremony for their friends and family which featured all of their favourite things.
The happy couple put their stamp on every little detail, from the seasonal inclusion of pumpkins to a bouncy castle that allowed guests to let out their inner child.
There was a Simpsons themed donut wall and a temporary tattoo station with a plethora of Pokemon designs.
The couple first began talking on a dating app, and it wasn’t until they met that Sophie realised James had a disability.
Sophie, who teaches children with special educational needs, had no idea James was a famous actor either, but her mum, who is a big Dales fan, was ecstatic.
